Time to make a new thread! I haven’t done a new piece yet, it’s bitter cold out so I’m slow starting. It was 10 degrees outside and finally warmed to 12 degrees, which is still “keep gloves on while warming hands at the stove after coming in” weather. But I will post here as soon as I have today’s daily art!

January 1, 2018 at 2:29 pm #536006Ouch, otherworlder! Good time for staying in and using references or painting plein window. It’s pretty if you have enough heat! We don’t have snow here, just cold.
Three Apples (WDE hosted by KreativeK source photo)
3″ x 5″ on Pocket Moleskine Watercolor
Watercolor and pastel pencils.First artwork of 2018, another WDE image from KreativeK. I love how the twig worked out. Used pastel pencils over watercolor for some last details and to modify them.

Yeah, that was a little deliberate, though it was hinted at in the reference I accented it and went back and forth a bit. Moved the stem around a lot from where it was in the reference on those fruit.
Today’s art – pastel animal!

blogs: Rob's Art Lessons and Rob's Daily PaintingJanuary 3, 2018 at 4:33 pm #536008That was a big mistake. I posted the reference instead of my art. The weather was bitter cold and that throws me way off, leaves me heavy on chronic fatigue and I’ve got bad eyesight. Soo…
Here’s the actual ART…

blogs: Rob's Art Lessons and Rob's Daily PaintingJanuary 3, 2018 at 5:16 pm #536062Haha I was wondering if you forgot to post the sketch, but it’s really nice to see the reference image and the sketch side by side. Lovely little painting, like how you simplified the background.

Sissy Kitten and Petrified Wood – imagination and life.
3″ x 5″ Yoofun sketchbook with fountain pen and Monteverde ink.I might do some more art too. Yesterday I did the handout for my calligraphy class but didn’t post it, it’s just the alphabet and some instructions.

January 6, 2018 at 10:38 am #536010Purr thank you! I worked hard on those getting the apples wet and dropping color in repeatedly. It was tricky!
Today’s going to have more than one artwork, for sure. This is a start, drawn last night and posted this morning after I got a photo.

Three Kittens (from 1-5-2018 WDE host Triduana photo by Pencils To Go RIL)
3″ x 5″ Pigma Micron size 005, white gel pen and watercolor on pocket Moleskine Watercolor.Feeling productive today. Besides, how could I resist underage felines? These three are up to something though. They’re cute… and playing up to that… but the one in the back is winking. Two seconds after the photo they probably destroyed the house.

blogs: Rob's Art Lessons and Rob's Daily PaintingJanuary 6, 2018 at 9:45 pm #536012Got in another artwork tonight! I’d been looking at a reference for ages, no permission so I just took it for inspiration and drew much more from memory and design. Scribbled something down fast in these pencils and wow, once it washed in it was glorious.
Violas
3″ x 5″
Supracolor Soft watercolor pencils on pocket Moleskine Watercolor
Loosely inspired by a photo in a gardening book, not copied.I love these pencils. The set of 30 now lives in a canvas Niji roll up with a white gel pen, a Pigma Micron and a water brush so I can use them anytime, carry them along when I go out. Horses and other nature sketches from life are going to go so fast with these!
I do need to review them, but I think by Wednesday I should have more examples of how they look in practice, washed or not!
